Our #aabricks winner Róisín Ingle donates her €2,000 prize to Merchants Quay Ireland
Congratulations to Roisin Ingle of the Irish Times who won our light hearted AA Home Insurance competition during which participants were invited to tweet images of houses they built out of a wee lego kit we sent them out using #aabricks.
To take a look back at the entries we received hop on Twitter and search #aabricks
Narrowed down to a shortlist of four, followed by an anonymous vote by a group of AA staff Roisin’s impressive and somewhat abstract house was eventually voted the winner. (We believe Roisin’s 5 year old daughter was in charge of the design.)
Delighted with her prize, a €2,000 cheque for the charity of her choice, she opted for ‘Merchants Quay’ which is head quartered in Dublin’s City Centre on the Quays as the name suggests.
Merchants Quay are a voluntary organisation who provide a wide range of services to people who are homeless and for drug users.
Thanks to all who joined in the fun and took part in our AA Home Insurance competition.
